You Won't Believe These Ricotta Meatballs are Low-Carb

There's something inherently comforting about meatballs. Maybe it's their size, perfect for a forkful, or the way they pair with so many sides.

But let's face it, traditional meatballs, with their bread crumbs and sugar-laden sauces, are a no-go on a keto diet. Here's where this game-changer of a recipe comes into play.

INGREDIENTS

For the meatballs: – Ground turkey – Ricotta cheese – Large egg – Crushed pork rind crumbs – Italian seasoning – Garlic powder – Grated Parmesan cheese – Salt and pepper For the sauce: – Butter – Minced garlic – Heavy whipping cream – Grated Parmesan cheese – Fresh chopped basil – Salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add the meatball ingredients to a large bowl, and knead until well combined.

1

Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, and place them into a well greased 9x13 baking dish.

2

Bake for 20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Mix in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.

3

Pour in the heavy whipping cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until the sauce thickens.

4

Stir the Parmesan cheese and basil into the sauce, then add the meatballs to the skillet, gently tossing to ensure they're well coated with the creamy mixture before serving.

5

For that rich, decadent texture, a combination of whole milk ricotta cheese and a cup of Parmesan is key.
